Two Passenger Engines CoIllde.--rour Men Hurt.

The first accident ON the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, of serious importance,
occurred about 1870 on Thursday morn
ing near Leslie Station, about . miles

ductor Lee, and the Eastbound was in
charge of Conductor Miller
The engines were badly wrecked.
They were wcdged so firmly together
that it took fourengines to pull them part
apart, and not then until the Jacks had
used. The wcstbonnd train was moving
slowly, while the other tain was moving
rapidly. The engineer and fireman Of
the westbound jumped and the engineer
was bruised about the head, and the fire
man was bruised on the arm and chest.
The engineer and fireman of the other
train were slightly hurt. None of the
passengers were injured, We are glad to
say Four express cars were thrown oil

tered around in rather IL promiscuous
confusion Straw hats, trunks, cabbas,
chickens, tobacco, ducks, turkeys, eggs,
fish, clothing and over hundred other
different articles were strewn around.

the night before over the Meridens. Many
New Haven people were present The rink
during the game was filed with one bowling

like Indians than sane people as they saw
the home team defeat the "Daisies." The
fun began when Doe took the rush on the

and second goals respectively, and when
Legion made the two succeeding scores for
New Haven the interest was intense. Score,
2 to 2. Dean for Msriden Gagged the third
goal, and the rink could hardly contain the
crowd The New Ravens did not get another
goal. They shot the ball with great rapidity
toward Meriden's cage, but the wonderful
stops of Lampkin saved the Meridenssfrom
defeat. Boyle's work was not so good as in
the game Monday night. Connors and Ley

A DANGEROUS CROSSING.

The Railroad Commissioners to Give
Another Hearing ON the Proposed
Bridging of East Grand Street in tia g
Annex-The Selectmen to Oppose the
Bridging of the Street On the Ground
of the Heavy Expense.
For a long time past the matter of bridging
East Grand street at the Shore Line tracks in
the Annex has been agitated. There have been
many narrow escapes at this point, which is q
very dangerous one.
There have been several hearings, but the
selectmen have strenuously opposed the pro-
posed improvement on the ground of the
great expense it would inhict. It was esti-
mated that $4,000 would hardly pay the
land damages which would accrue.
Henry R. Smith and others represented by
Attorney Henry D. Russell have petitioned
for hearing before the railroad commits
sioners, and it will take place in the old en-
CINE house in Fair Haven East, Nov. 29th at
l a. N. The entire board of selectmen will
be present with their counsel, Ex-Governor
Ingersoll, with Civil Engineer Butler, and
the proposed bridging will be opposed.
